Princess Katie and the Silver Pony

When Princess Katie and her friends at the Princess Academy find out the first lesson of the day is Wish Class, they are so pleased. They think they can use their wishes to win tiara points and a place in the Seashell Coach... But horrible Princess Perfecta has other ideas!

Vivian French was best known at school for being extremely weedy, and for talking a lot. She continued her attachment to words by becoming first an actor, then a story-teller and finally a writer of children's books... she's not sure how many she's written (she's not good at maths), but it's somewhere around two hundred. Many of them are for children at the age of seven and less, but she does write for older children too - and also non-fiction, which she says is very exciting because you find out so many things you never knew about.
